anyway, those are from my notes and book. the book is called Emergency Medicine. but im sure you can find those in a book store. i know some paramedics who always carry a little small booklet full of acronyms and things...they are very useful =)

Deformaties,contusions,abrasions,punctures/penetrations,burns,tenderness,lacerations,swelling ,instability,crepitus,rigidity and the + for anything else that may come up
oh and there are several other scales, the
Cinincatti strokie scale
